[Koha] Koha Bulk Addition of Items

[David Schuster]

You would need a 952 for each item on the MARC record to import all your
items.

If you have some of your data in excell etc with barcodes you may be able to
bring some of that into MARC edit to build your MARC records without
retyping all of it.
